Photos a tad blurry due to no tripod. All in all, very happy with both orders and they fit great.

I received a pair of slim fit jeans, waffle mock cardigan, and canvas dopp kit. Quite like the jeans but the sweater sleeves are too short as expected and I don't like the zipper on the dopp kit so those will be going back. I can take pics of any of it before I do.

Can you take pics of the dopp kit? I was planning on getting it at the next sale. For $15 on sale, it seems decent.

How are the jeans? Are they true to size in the waist?

Just got in my giant order:

chambray long sleeve - good fit, a bit snug in the shoulders for me but nothing major. Wide around the waist and short length. Could barely tuck it in. Definitely not black color though. More like charcoal with flecks of black in it.

selvedge chambray - wider in the shoulders than the regular chambray and a different stitching pattern. Its got a dumbass second seam running from the shoulders to the chest pocket and down the back of the shirt in a sort of horseshoe pattern. A real turn off.

short sleeve crew - not bad for $10. I like my AA's more but these would be good cheap options

short sleeve polo - another good cheap option. wide around the waist but good fitting top block. fabric wasn't anything to write home about but what do you want for $15? Equal length front and back.

long sleeve waffle crew - enormous. Fit me like an XL. Hell, it looked like an XXL.

long sleeve waffle henley - exact same fit as the crew. Just huge in the body. The waffle material on their shirts is very rough as well.

long sleeve waffle cardigan - best fit of the bunch surprisingly. Not baggy in the waist nor overly long in the sleeve. Material is rough like the shirts but buttons are a nice thick plastic. Probably the best buy out of the bunch.

baracuta jacket - this ended up looking more like a golf jacket than a baracuta. Very long neck flap hangs down from the collar and isn't buttonable/foldable. Weight is decent, not too light, but the fabric was a bit scratchy for my tastes. Definite loser.

1 3/4 jean belt - not bad but not great. The sizing was a bit big as my 36 got to the 4th hole easily. Thinish leather but a nice sturdy buckle.

1 3/4 double prong jean belt - this was much better and is a great cheap alternative to the ALD belt. Leather isn't thick but its supple. Rivets instead of sewing. Nice buckle as well. Pretty damn good for $30.

cambridge ridge shirt jacket - another loser. huge fit and only had one pocket on the left side of the waist. wtf is that?

fleece shawl collar sweater - very heavy weight and nice shawl but its basically a standard sweatshirt with a shawl sewn on. nothing special but good if you're looking for a warm weather hoodie alternative.

garment dye oxford - very nice fit. bit big around the waist but good shoulders and arms. cloth felt a bit slubby to me but I'm not really an oxford guy.

Overall the only winners were the waffle cardigan and the 1.75 double belt. If it gets cold enough I might spring for some more outerwear.

Throwing in another testimony for the LEC shirts. The collars aren't the best on the market, but my biggest complaint with them aren't that they're flimsy, as others have remarked on here. The biggest problem with the collars is that they're short, and thus hard to pull off with a tie, especially in an older or more serious work environment. It's still doable if you're in a pinch, but they're far, far from ideal.

That said, these shirts fit fairly well, and the construction feels very solid. The poplins aren't thin at all, and the oxfords are very, very nice. When they have their 25% off sales, the oxfords go for about $25 a piece. Right now they're having their backroom sale and many of their poplin shirts are $17 a piece. With the $10 off + free shipping coupon on orders over $50, that can bring each of their poplins to about $13. For its value, I really don't think anything comes close to LEC. Seems to me that you either go really high end for shirts now or LEC; everything in the middle can't compete.

I have a question about their sizing? I've been eying the heritage oxfords but at 5'4 and 120 pounds I'm not sure if they would fit me. The children's large fits just a little small for standard lands end - how would the small size fit?

I think they'd be too big for you. I'm 5'7 135lb and it's a touch too long to wear untucked and has way too much material to tuck in.

I think they would be too big for you as well. I'm 5'10" and weigh about 155 lbs. The heritage poplins and oxfords fit me almost perfectly, though the sides could be taken in about an inch total. I would say they were made for a guy 5'10", 160 lbs, and 36 or 38 chest.
